Chapter 237 Princess of the Southern Kingdom
"What happened to Changsheng?"
Lin Changsheng is also someone Jiang Changle has known for a long time. In addition to the first group of orcs who followed Shi Niangzi in Acid Rain Village, there are also the hunting teams that Lin Changsheng met in the wild forest. They are also the targets of the Jiang family's key training.
Now he leads the Chu family's elephant army and is an indispensable backbone force of the Jiang family.
Jiang Changle's question made the already shy Lin Changsheng blush instantly. "It's just a small matter, Princess, don't worry~"
"How can it be said to be a small matter? You are a young general commanding the elephant army. Your safety is also a big matter in the army." Lady Shi began to blow the flute with a whirring sound.
In excitement, he called out Jiang Changle's name again, "Changle, you don't know, our Changsheng is very powerful. The black princess of the Southern Dynasty chased him for favor, and finally took him away by force!"
Shi Niangzi saw it with her own eyes. It was the first time she saw a female pursuing and doting on a male, and it was very satisfying to watch.
Later, the joy turned into sorrow. The princess failed to achieve her goal and began to take tough measures, causing trouble and losses to Lin Changsheng, the army and the business.
Lin Changsheng was actually a little nervous, afraid that Jiang Changle would blame him for causing trouble to the Jiang family army due to personal reasons.
"She's from a foreign country, how could she possibly be asking for your hand in marriage? Actually, you're here for the Xiang army. I'm sorry, Princess~"
Lin Changsheng is actually already twenty years old, but his spiritual power is so strong that his life will not be threatened even if he does not mate.
He could only keep Jiang Changle's obsession in his heart. Maybe one day when he met the right person, he would marry her, but definitely not now.
"It's okay, you must protect yourself first at all times. No matter if you are a princess or an emperor, you can refuse if you don't want to.
But since you said they are coming for the elephant army, I'm afraid they won't give up. We need to be more careful in the future and take action when it's time.
Which county in the east? Perhaps we can turn it into the Jiang family's fiefdom, so that no one can interfere with what we do in the future."
"No!"
"not good!"
Lin Changsheng and Shi Niangzi stopped them at the same time.
"Oh, Changle, that county town is too bad. If you really treat it as a fiefdom, you will lose a lot of money."
"That's right. The east side of the East Dynasty faces the sea directly. The coastline is too long, so the East Nine Counties are divided into one to nine towns. The towns there are equivalent to the size of a county in our inland area.
Jiujiuba Town is the location of Pier No. 5, which is open to the public, and is not far from the mine.
There was a mixed crowd there, with criminals, pirates, and southern invaders everywhere. There was no order at all. There were few truly good citizens, and officials relied on filial piety and bribery to survive.
The orcs drying salt along the coast and the trackers are all prisoners, just like us in the mines.
But it is more chaotic than other exile places. The female prisoners, who are also prisoners, do not care about the life and death of males. It seems that the females can use salt crystals to make secret medicine that can easily suppress males.
The females abuse the males during the day, and at night, it's even worse. Almost every day, males die in the early morning, and their bodies are thrown into the sea to feed the fish~"
At that time, the second princess united the naval forces of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms and marched south to deal with Jiang Changle, but was finally suppressed by the Jiang family's elephant army.
The two dynasties suffered heavy losses. The remaining navy of the Northern Kingdom retreated, but the Southern Kingdom was interested in the navy and was willing to pay tribute to them even if all the navy was wiped out. In the end, it sent a beautiful princess, probably intending to seduce them.
The hot weather in the south is more suitable for elephants to survive. The number of elephants there will only be more than in the wild forest. Even the orcs have elephant attributes.
However, the southerners still cannot tame elephants and only treat them as food, so they are naturally jealous of the Jiang family's elephant army.
How could Lin Changsheng agree to this when he knew that others were planning this?
The princess of the Southern Kingdom first sent flowers, gold, silver and treasures, then seduced him, then used female suppression, and finally simply sent troops to capture him, but unfortunately they were no match for Lin Changsheng.
After Lin Changsheng continued to talk about the general situation of Jiujiuba Town, Shi Niangzi talked excitedly and told everyone about the methods the Princess of the Southern Kingdom had taken against Lin Changsheng, which amazed everyone.
But everyone knows that there is romance and luxury, as well as thrills, but none of it has anything to do with love. Fortunately, Lin Changsheng was able to control himself, which is quite amazing.
"Let's forget about the fiefdom. We will retreat to the Eight Cities to defend them. We will only do business in the Eight Cities. Let them do whatever they want."
There are salt fields along the coast, and Jiang Changle now has salt wells in his hands, so he is too lazy to compete with those people.
"Changsheng, please stay with us. We need more manpower to govern the fiefdom. We can't do without you."
Song Qing is in charge of the workshop in Acid Rain Village, Shi Niangzi is in charge of transportation between different places, Yun Lao is in the west, and the mine owners in the east can just stay to do business.
Lin Changsheng was of course happy, but he still had a question. "But Princess, we accidentally discovered that the Princess of the Southern Kingdom and the Second Princess are doing business together. They seem to be transporting iron, and we were planning to, uh, grab a batch of it."
There are still differences between different irons. There are a lot of iron mines in the South, and the quality of the iron is better than that in the East. The weapons they make are often stronger than those made in other dynasties.
The trade of iron between the princesses of the two countries has nothing to do with the Jiang family. They never like to meddle in other people's affairs.
However, the iron ore in the exile area produces little iron and the quality is not very good. Lin Changsheng has been keeping an eye on it for a long time, hoping to grab one or two batches to make weapons.
However, before he could take action, he was summoned back by Jiang Changle to besiege the tiankeng, but Lin Changsheng still felt it was a pity to give up like this.
However, what he didn't know was that there was a lot of iron in Jiang Changle's space, and it was exposed to the open air. After picking it up, smelting and purifying it, it would definitely be stronger and sharper than any other iron.
"We have no shortage of iron. The Southern Kingdom came here by ship, right? You can have their ship sunk and their ironware destroyed."
This would not only allow the Southern Princess to vent her anger, but also destroy the Second Princess's privately made weapons. It goes without saying that the first person the Second Princess would deal with after getting the weapons would be Jiang Changle.
Lin Changsheng also thought of this, "I should talk to Xuanqing about it and do something small to turn the two sides against each other."
Bullying a male like him is fine, but hindering the Fourth Princess is absolutely unacceptable. This is the first rule adhered to by the Black Dragon Guards and the Jiang family army.
"Okay, you guys can do whatever you want, but don't deploy too many troops. I need them here." Jiang Changle gave a special reminder.
She destroyed the entire Gu corpse base in Jiusan County, and she didn't know how many old guys had been killed. In order to prevent those people from counterattacking, Jiang Changle had to keep the troops by her side to protect the people around her, especially the children, in case of any unexpected accidents.
As she expected, the news of the destruction of the Gu corpse in Jiusan County spread as quickly as it shocked people at first, all the way to Kyoto. Two days later, some people received the letter and were so angry that they vomited blood.
The Queen laughed heartily, but at the court meeting the next day, the ministers were once again in uproar, this time even more violent, with all the blame directed at Jiang Changle.
